This is Why.

For those of you who are wondering, we are still "in process." Still waiting for a couple forms to come in, still discussing, still praying about the specific direction our adoption is going to take - or more specifically, where God wants to take it; take us. Being 7 1/2 months pregnant has made some of the decisions a little more, well, intense!

I find myself explaining more and more to friends, family, and complete strangers, the specifics of why we are choosing this route. A lot of times I am at a loss for words, especially with people we don't know on an intimate level. The story is long, the journey has been laborious to say the least! A common response is "well, it kinda chose us, not the other way around."

Last week, while surfing other families adoption blogs, I found a post on "Gotcha Day" videos. I've posted two that moved me to tears...well actually more like propelled me into sobbing, booger crying - All I can say about them is : "This is Why"
